    what rods to use when going with 1" shorter a arms?

    have a set of 1' shorter a arms on my car,the tie rod ends bottom out on the threads before i can get the wheels straight to take the car down for alignment, what tie rod ends are everyone using with shorter a arms? on the last car i did like this,i cut the tie rod threaded section and made it shorter,was just wondering if there was a different one in could buy that was allready shorter?thanks

    if someone needs a bumpsteer kit for 12in arms i have a new racecraft 1 for 100.00 shipped if it helps

    ricky-if using fox length arms on your sn you will need stock length(13in) fox tie rods and or 1 in shorter still for fox's(12in arm)
